The Outpost

April safety awareness training

- By Jeni Williams

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, this year all Safety Awareness Training will be posted on SharePoint. Each month a new subject will be presented. April’s Safety Awareness Training will cover first aid and hot/cold weather safety.

Working in extreme temperatur­es can cause stress to the body’s internal system causing the body to be unable to warm or cool itself, which could result in a heat or cold stress related injury. Both heat and cold weather can play a part in adverse health effects which range in severity from being uncomforta­ble up to death.

April’s monthly safety training and more informatio­n about hot/ cold weather safety as well as first aid can be accessed on the intranet at: https://intranet.yuma. army.mil/cmd/Safety/SitePages/ SAW%20Training%20Site.aspx

After viewing the training material use the drop down menu located below the training link under “Acknowledg­ements,” choose the training you have completed (i.e. April First Aid and Hot/Cold Weather Safety) and then click on the small square box just below the training title (your name and date will auto populate) then click “submit.” The square box must be clicked in order for the training/signature to be validated. The Safety Office will then send you a completed certificat­e that you (if a U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) employee) will upload to ATTM at on Sharepoint. Non-ATEC employees can use this certificat­e as proof of their annual safety training.

Once you are in ATTM, scroll down to YPG – CY21 SAW Training (April module) and upload your certificat­e you received from the Safety Office.

As always, the training informatio­n that is provided each month is guaranteed to be useful, relevant as well as entertaini­ng! So whether you are ATEC, Mission, Garrison, Military Free Fall School, Medical Clinic, contractor or any other YPG tenant, this training is for you!
